THE ROBES OF STATE.

The Abbey was now blaze of magnln-
cence. On the right of the royal dlas the
lord chancellor in his magnificent rooes
of state and flowing wig, mass OF veiVet
and ermine was seated. Behind him SAT
500 peers of the realm, and their peeress'
es, attired in costumes of rich velvet and
sumptuous silks. Behind these sat the
lord lieutenants, heavy with their robes
insignia of office, and she diplomats, whose
bosoms we're covered with decorations
On the left, and facing the lord chancel-
lor, was the speaker of the house OF com
mons, also wearing, his robe with the goi-
den mace before him. Behind him were
the members of the house of commons
and their wives, all richly arrayed for the
occasion. So, on either side of her, the
,ueen's eyes would fall upon two brilliant
masses, splendid in colors and dazzling
with jewels.
The galleries were crowded with black
mass of clergymen. Down the nave the
eye was greeted with bright array of
military ard naval uniforms. Conspic
uous even in all this brilliancy were the
dazzling oriental costumes of the Indian
raiabs, sparkling with precious stones.
The rays of the sun streaming through
the cOlored windows, gave rich and
varied glow to an assemblage which in it.
self was as picturesque as the world has
ever witnessed. The long space between
the Abbey pillars glowed with the irrides-
cence of many rainbows. The scene was
of more than regal splendor and must
have reminded the queen of the lavish
display of grandeur which signalized
her coronation. Court officials who have
seen both say today's spectacle far ex-
ceeded that of the coronation in magnifi

Cost of Making a Watch.

They were comparing time pieces in
the Dewitt house office the other day
A. l.. Dennison, of Portland, was one of
them. Trustee Ben Hilton, of North
Arson, balanced gold-timer Oh his dSx-
ter finger, and Hon. Rufus Prince, of
Soath Turner, produced the old reliable
sun-regulator from his pocket. It look
ed like a convention of watch-makers and
served to point moral TO this story.
"A cousin of mine, said Mr.. Dennison,
'who was of the same name as myself,
was the first person to make a watch by
machinery, and il was he who estab-
Hshed the Waltham Watch-works in
Waltham. Mass. He was abroad over
twenty years in Switzerland and ON the
continent, introducing his watch making
machinery.
"Not long age, on visit to this coun-
try, he came TO see me. He asked me
the question How cheap do you suppose

THE COSTUMES.

The queens dress was not striking.
Across her breast she wore the broad blue
ribbon of the Garter. The only other
decoration she wore was that Of the order
of "Cohurg Gothan
The most conspicuous figure in the pro-
cession was the German crown prince,
whose magnificent physique set off by a
snow white uniform, was conspicuous in
the princely throng. The Prince of
Wales, who wore the familiar red uniform,
seemed insignificant in comparison. The
Grand Duke of Sergius of Russia, who
wore q curious, but picturesque, cape, was,
after the German crown prince, much the
most striking figure
Upon the dais, the princesses wore
light colored dresses, except the duchess
of Albany, who was attired in black. The
crown princess Of Germany wore robe,
the front OF which was Of silver and
gold embroidery OF Turkish design,
wrought with real silver and gold threads.
The train was of pale French greg cord
ed silk. The front was gracefully tied
with loops and long ends Of dark olive
green velvet. The bodice, made high to
the throat, was of silk, with vest of the
embroidery, bordered narrowly with olive

"This is lemonade, is it not?" inc uired
a light-haired gentleman blandly, as he
stepped up in front of stand on the

The proprietor replied that it was ice

the information that the price was only
five cents glass.

the stranger, and it was placed before
him.
"If there is anything am fond of" he
continued with much affability, sit is

from one of his pockets, cut a hole in it
and with great elaboration squeezed the
Juice into the glass. Then from another
POCKET he took spoon and a small paper
sack filed with sugar, with which he pro
ceeded TO sweeten the mixture. A crowd
was gathering around him by this time,
and the proprietor of the refreshment
stand was becoming quite red and very
